A special audit of IndiGo Airlines was conducted by DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) to examine the company’s documentation and procedures concerning training, operations, and flight data management programme.

On Friday, 28 July, the DGCA imposed a financial penalty of Rs 30 lakh on the airline for four tail strike incidents within six months this year.

The DGCA conducted a special audit of the company to examine the airline’s procedures and documentation about the engineering, training, operations, and flight data management program.

The audit brought forward the lack of training and engineering procedure of IndiGo.

The regulator has informed the company to submit their response within a given timeframe in its show cause notice to the airline.

However, the company response was deemed unsatisfactory upon further review.

The DGCA has also directed the airline to make necessary amendments to their documents and procedures to comply with the DGCA requirements and the guidelines provided by the original equipment manufacturers (OEM).
